> Abortion, for example, is an economic issue. Allowing women to control their reproduction is, by far, the most effective way to combat poverty. A child costs over $250,000 to raise on average, and that's the type of burden that keeps people in poverty. Abortion rights have strong support among the wealthy; this is not a case of the "elites" dividing the working class, it's the working class that supports regressive policies.
Meanwhile, just 29% of folks who primarily speak Spanish at home, and 41% of first generation Hispanic immigrants, think abortion should be legal. If Democrats want to be the party of telling working class Hispanics that their views are “regressive” and the most important problem is that they can’t or won’t abort enough of their babies, that’s a dream come true for the GOP.
Bonus points for “[a]bortion rights have strong support among the wealthy.” The attack ads write themselves. “Wall Street bankers and Silicon Valley engineers think that their maids and gardeners are having too many kids and should abort more of them.”
